Overview

"In autumn 1921 Walter Gropius presented one of the most important transnational art projects after World War I at the Weimar Bauhaus. Aiming to counter the nationally-oriented concept of culture with the idea of a cosmopolitan association of artists, he invited the artistic avant-garde of Europe to contribute to a comprehensive graphic edition entitled ""Neue Europaische Graphik"" (New European Graphics). By 1924, portfolios I, III, IV and V were created with prints by German, Italian and Russian artists; portfolio II with works by French artists remained a fragment. The Lindenau Museum is one of the few museums in possession of the four published portfolios. As a contribution to the 100th anniversary of the Bauhaus, the catalog presents all graphic sheets of the ""New European Graphics"" series, including works by Max Beckmann, Marc Chagall, Giorgio de Chirico, Lyonel Feininger, Wassily Kandinsky, Ernst Ludwig Kirchner, and Paul Klee. The presentation additionally comprises some rare series of prints by Lyonel Feininger, Gerhard Marcks, and Georg Muche, created at the Bauhaus and also in the possession of the Lindenau Museum."
